Weapons
Energy Recharge
Highest-value stat stick here: Energy Recharge substat covers burst cost, and the passive converts excess ER into ATK%, which feeds straight into the transferred buff.
CRIT DMG
Enormous base ATK plus an off-field party ATK buff, stacking with the Kinetic Energy Scale transfer for the highest team-wide gain.
ATK%
Big base ATK and an ATK% substat that keeps climbing while off-field, so the buff grows between rotations without extra field time.
Energy Recharge
Cheapest reliable option: particles from on-field CRIT Rate procs refund energy to the whole party. Needs crit substats or a crit circlet to fire consistently.
Energy Recharge
Free Inazuma craft: Energy Recharge substat and an ATK% passive after casting the Skill, giving both uptime and buff scaling at zero cost.
Energy Recharge
Energy Recharge substat plus CRIT Rate and attack-speed perks; mediocre base ATK, so treat it as a burst-uptime fix rather than a buff amplifier.
ATK%
Top-tier base ATK with an ATK% substat; shielded teams keep the stacking ATK passive online, which is the only way this beats an ER weapon.
ATK%
Event freebie with an ATK% substat; triggering any elemental reaction adds more ATK, so it holds up surprisingly well on reaction-heavy teams.
Elemental Mastery
Craftable Energy Recharge with an energy refund after the Skill; the Elemental Mastery half is dead weight, so this is a fallback for bursting every rotation.
Artifacts
2pc Energy Recharge fixes burst cost, and the 4pc adds a party-wide 28% Elemental DMG bonus after a reaction — usually a bigger team gain than raw ATK alone.
2pc ATK +20% raises the transferred buff, and the 4pc layers a separate 20% party ATK buff on burst — two independent multipliers on the same stat.
Only the 2pc Energy Recharge matters; the 4pc's burst-damage scaling is worthless on a build with no personal damage, so don't farm a full set for it.

Recommended Primary Stats
Iansan's buff scales off
Max 54 Nightsoul Points; below 42 the buff drops. Keep moving to maintain uptime.
C4 frontloads Nightsoul Points if they previously overflowed.
SUPPORT
Iansan buffs teammates via her Elemental Burst and heals the active character through a passive.
Her buff scales with movement — but her own movement doesn't count, only the active character's does.
Movement = any distance covered, vertical or horizontal: attacks, Skill/Burst animations, jumps, etc.
Movement plus Nightsoul Point gain/consumption keeps her Nightsoul Points high, sustaining the buff.
[C1]: consuming 6 Nightsoul Points grants 15 Energy while in combat and in Nightsoul Blessing — effectively drops Burst cost from 70 to 55. 18s cooldown.
Weapons: at [C0], non-Energy Recharge options are unrealistic when she's the only Electro — ER needs spike. In movement-poor teams, ATK weapons gain value.
Favonius Lance: build CRIT Rate to proc the passive.
Symphonist of Scents: fewer Natlan teammates means lower buff uptime; near-perfect uptime needs 3+ Natlan characters.

Outfits
Warrior's Bonegarb
Iansan's outfit. Adorned with a patterned skull that has become something of an icon for Iansan. Her trainees initially believed that their coach wore it to commemorate the tragic passing of her Tatankasaur, until they realized it was still alive and well.
